Vakker offers a complete line of dental burs, which used in conjunction with a dental handpiece, cuts away hard tissue. Dental burs come in a wide variety, each one offering specific advantages that function best in certain situations. Burs are generally known as either a carbide bur or a diamond bur. Each type of bur comes in varying degrees of sharpness, lengths, shapes and sizes.
Carbide burs are most often used when preparing cavities for fillings, shaping bone and removing old fillings. Carbide burs cut and chip away the tooth structure. They leave a smoother surface than a diamond bur.
